DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
The area described aggregates 628.99 acres,
more or less, in Riverside County, California.
Bureau of Land Management
The closure is necessary because of
public health and safety risks caused by
the potential for encounter with
unexploded ordinance and other
hazardous materials located on the
lands. The approximately 628.99 acres
of public lands were until recently part
of the Chocolate Mountain Aerial
Gunnery Range and were used as part of
a live bombing and training facility. The
Department of the Navy is in the process
of developing a response action plan to
clean the contaminated parcels. Once
the parcels are successfully cleaned, the
BLM will reopen the lands to the public.
All motor vehicles must remain on
routes designated as open to vehicular
use. The lands are closed to all forms of
public entry, including dispersed
camping, or other recreational activities
on the approximately 628.99 acres.
The following persons are exempt
from this order: Federal, State, and local
officers and employees in the
performance of their official duties;
members of organized rescue or firefighting forces in the performance of
their official duties; and persons with
written authorization from the Bureau of
Land Management.
